Such a quiet and stunning location for a Vancouver Island vacation. It was situated in an ideal place for exploring the island, yet so comfortable and lovely, we didn’t want to leave. We enthusiastically recommend Sooke Mountain House!

Great house for family gathering.
We really enjoyed our 3 night stay, 6 adults, 3 children (2, 3 & 5)plus 1 dog. We were very impressed with the house. It was welcoming, clean, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and lots of games, puzzles and books, the beautiful landscape and an amazing view. The grandchildren loved the playhouse and the hot tub was a big hit. The welcome basket and flowers was lovely touch. Eoghan and Maitreyi made us feel welcome and were available for any questions or concerns. Have already told some friends about it. I hope to stay again.

We highly recommend a stay at Sooke Mountain House
The house and property were an awesome, unique place to have a 4 day celebration of our 50th wedding anniversary! With the natural setting it felt like camping in a spacious, very private campground with amazing trees and gorgeous views, while at the same time having the luxury of a beautiful, comfortable, well laid out and artistically decorated home. The beds and mattresses were comfortable and the long deck table were a great place for gathering and enjoying delicious meals. The wood burning hot tub was an interesting feature and was a big hit. We loved staying at the home and also enjoyed outings to Matheson lake, French Beach, the nearby Galloping Goose trail for walking and cycling and the River Pot Holes. Our host Eoghan was very considerate and answered questions readily. Thanks so much for the delightful welcoming basket and bouquet of fresh flowers and for a wonderful stay!!

The Sooke Mountain House is truly worth every penny. The owners are extremely accommodating and friendly. I can't thank them enough for the experience. The floor beds were VERY comfortable as were the regular beds. The house is very spacious and the view is to die for!

Great house for our family gathering. Well stocked with puzzles and well equipped kitchen.
We had a great family reunion with our grown children. The deck was an awesome gathering place for our evening meals. We enjoyed a couple of movie nights with the full size screen. Beds were comfy.

Stunning nature property! Highly recommend!
This was the best property I've ever rented before! The views and property were beautiful. The hosts were great and very accommodating. It was very clean and tidy when we arrived. The beds were nicely prepared with bath and face towels beside each mattress. There was a welcome basket which was very sweet and we were able to use the condiments and spices available, which made it very easy for us so we didn't need to buy cooking oil, salt, etc. There was soap available at every sink in the house and hotel style shampoo / conditioner available. There were extra throws hanging around the house which was perfect for when it gets really cold in the house or use as another layer for the bed. The upstairs had a great movie setup with a projector and sound system. Clean up at the end was easy and straight forward (minimal and fair). And the property... Was absolutely gorgeous with a forest as the backyard, there were endless amounts of trails and hiking available to the peak with a nice little surprise at the top. The forest was filled with wonderful surprises and amazing plantation naturally grown there. I can keep going on... Thank you so much Eoghan and Maitreyi. It was truly a magical trip.
